Blanche defends DOJ lawsuit blocking Alaska Senate certification over two Sullivans

US Attorney General Todd Blanche has defended the Justice Department lawsuit to block certification of Alaska's Senate race, citing voter confusion over two Sullivans.

• The Justice Department sued on October 22 to block certification of Alaska's Senate race, citing voter confusion over two candidates named Sullivan.
• Trump told reporters he authorized the lawsuit, saying: "I'm the one who said do it."
• Blanche said the suit aims to preserve ballots for possible court investigation and accused one candidate of seeking to confuse voters.
• Blanche called CNN host Dana Bash's questions about overturning the election "crazy" and declined to say whether Trump directed the filing.
